What These Numbers Mean

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): The number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions.

BMI (Body Mass Index): A measurement that indicates whether you're at a healthy weight for your height.

Activity Factor: Based on your physical activity level, this factor adjusts your BMR to determine your total daily calorie needs.

Calorie Goals: For weight loss, we suggest a moderate 20% deficit. For weight gain, a 20% surplus. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes.
